Synopsis:
After having operative Alex Hunter (Marie Madison) captured by drug lord Jack “Scorpion” King (Mark Audess) in the first episode, The Agency sends operative Nicole Richards (Marie Buells) to rescue Alex. To get in they give her plastic surgery to look like Kasey McGillis (Kami Andrews), the girlfriend of King's rival.

Audio/Video:
The Agency — Episode 2 is presented with two different English audio options. There is an English 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround track and an English 2.0 Stereo track. Both of which sound great and it is excellent that the viewer is given a Stereo track to go with the Dolby Digital Surround track so those with only Stereo equipment for their televisions don't have to down mix the audio. The dialog is clear and can be heard at all times during the film. Marie Madison Media hasn't included any foreign language tracks or subtitle options for the feature film.

The Agency — Episode 2 is presented in the widescreen aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1. The disc is presented in anamorphic widescreen which is a great bonus and more adult companies should present their widescreen films this way. The picture looks good with a mostly clear picture with no blemishes or glitches. There is some fine grain at some points in the film. Given that this film is from an amateur studio, it looks excellent and should exceed the expectations of viewers.

Special Features:
Marie Madison Media has included a few extras on the disc. The best one is the behind the scenes featurette, which runs for 18 minutes and is a comprehensive behind the scenes feature showing the filming, out takes and a deleted scene. There is a photo gallery which contains 51 stills on a track with music. There are also previews included on the disc for The Agency — Episode 1, Forced Feedings, Talon's Reign — Episode 1: The King's Dungeon, Indiscretions, and Talon's Reign — Episode 2: A Pirate's Bounty.

Disc Design/Navigation:
The disc is designed with nice looking animated menus with background music that fit the theme of the film. The menus are fully functional and easy to navigate. The chapter menu contains eight chapters. Each one is identified by a still frame and a scene name. There are eleven chapter stops within the feature film itself. There is a partially functional time code encoded on the disc. The time is displayed and resume/position memory functions work but time searching is disabled.

General Review:
As far as the plot goes, The Agency — Episode 2 is a continuation of the plot from the first episode. There isn't much of an explanation of what occurred in the first film, but since not much did occur, viewers can pick up this volume and not miss much plot wise if they haven't viewed the first one yet. The plot for this film is far more advanced than the first film so viewers that like a little story with their adult material will be happy. There is an extended set up to the film before the coercion and torture begin. The film ends with a “to be continued” which makes way for Episode 3. Although the film is more advanced plot-wise than the first volume, there isn't enough here to please viewers that aren't into forced play films. I'm not a fan of coercion and torture films, especially if that is all there is to them.

Although there is a decent plot to the film, all the sex scenes are non-consensual torture scenes and some of them get rather nasty in places. There is a brief fisting scene in the film however, most of the fisting is implied and not shown with just snippets of the actual fisting. In the final scene with Kami Andrews and Mark Audess while he is forcing her to blow him she ends up vomiting up bile, which was completely unnecessary. No matter how good a film is vomiting completely turns me off. I'm not sure why that brief footage wasn't just cut from the film. The cigarette burning effects clearly show that the burning was done later in CGI, which is good and made the film more bearable. The cast looks good and unfortunately the only female that gets into any action in this film is Kami as I would have loved to have seen a scene with Marie Madison and one for Marie Buells and would have especially loved them if at least one of them could have been consensual. The sexual themes in the film are vaginal and anal sex with pussy fingering, vaginal toy use, coercion, torture, fisting, blow jobs, cigarette burning and vomiting. For viewers that care about condom use, there are condoms used for all the sex scenes. It is also worth noting that it is obvious that no one was harmed while making the film.

Marie Madison is getting better at film making and raising the production values of her films. There is nice use made of the sets, both indoor and out and the non-sex portions of the film are well done and add to the overall film. The cast does a good job with their roles with the exception of Conner Edwards who stumbles with his lines. The special effects are well done, especially in the doctor's office which looks great.

Scene 1: Kami Andrews and David Hurley
The first scene brings us Kami Andrews and David Hurley and is a brief scene. While she's unconscious David plays with Kami's pussy, ass and tits.

Scene 2: Kami Andrews, David Hurley and Damien Lee
The second scene features Kami Andrews, David Hurley and Damien Lee. To start the scene out, David uses a dildo attached to a power drill on Kami. Then Kami gets fisted and roughed up including some cigarette burning. Then David goes back to the dildo attached to the power drill. Then David has vaginal sex with Kami while Damien gets a blow job. There is no cumshot to end the scene.

Scene 3: Kami Andrews and David Hurley
The third scene gives us Kami Andrews and David Hurley and David starts out the scene by having vaginal sex with Kami. He switches over to having some anal sex with Kami and to end the scene, David cums on her ass.

Scene 4: Kami Andrews and Mark Audess
The fourth scene brings us Kami Andrews and Mark Audess and the scene starts out with Mark caressing Kami's body and flicking ashes onto her body. Then Mark fingers her pussy before he puts his cigarette out on her. He puts out another cigarette on her before the scene ends.

Scene 5: Kami Andrews and Mark Audess
The fifth and final scene features Kami Andrews and Mark Audess. Mark forces Kami to give him a blow job, to the point where she vomits once during it. Then Mark goes into some vaginal sex with her. He cums on her ass to end the scene.

Parting Thoughts:
The Agency — Episode 2 features a decent plot and is an improvement over the first episode, however, it will only be enjoyed by fans of forced play films. Viewers who like tame or consensual sex will be turned off by this film. However, viewers that like forced play, coercion and torture will probably want to give this film a look as it is well done for what it is.
